    Yup. I started panning myself. After working for years for 500$ a week toiling in labor jobs. Hostile management. Just to pay rent and live. Now I make at least $500 a week, enjoy life again. Though I live out of the back of my truck lol. I'm finally banking money instead of paying it all out to live. I'll have a brand new RV paid for this year. Happy hunting.

    just sweat involved, no blood, and you can get everything out of those loaded crevices.💰💵

      @SkovianGoesOutdoors nope. Open land out there. Also quite a few claims for sale. Saw 1 for 5000$ and another for 3900$...... both on middle creek which feeds cow creek. Or you could look for the red blanket lost mine right accross the river. The founder of Tombstone had found a rich ledge above days creek in 1890s.....after he was found dead he had rich quartz and his journal entry said " finally found it, much richer than tombstone ever could be".......look up the story

    • @SkovianGoesOutdoors
      @SkovianGoesOutdoors  Год назад

      I haven't heard of much gold panning around that area. I would recommend going somewhere on the Rogue river, or the Applegate river, I know those have public recreational panning areas, as well as cow creek over by Canyonville. The coast is always an option aswell (gold beach, whisky run beach) really small gold on the beach though, but alot of it :)
      I hope you and your son get the gold fever :) it's a really amazing hobby
